Bounce has two similar songs The Distance and Love Me Back To Life. The Distance is pretty neutral song it doesn't make me wanna start rocking or anything but I won't skip it either if I'm listening Bounce. Between those two songs I like LMBTL more mostly because there's parts that make me wanna start rocking.

Maybe Distance is a bit of dissappointment to me coz it sounds like a song that I could have written. If I get a feeling like "this is just like one of my songs" I don't like it coz I'm always looking forward to something new and exiting but that Distance is not. It's just a nice little insignificant song.

One of the best on Bounce. I think it's a well written and mature song. It would mean a lot more to me if I was in the right situation. That of a lover who is far away from his/her partner and is doing all they can to breach the gap between them.

I didn't really like it that much when Bounce first came out, but since then I have grown to really like it. I especially like the slow ending when it is performed live.
